         EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
         EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
         The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
         Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
         Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
         Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
         The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
         Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

           the

           led

           directed
           by
           the
           discerning
           prudence
           of
           a
           propheticall
           spirit

           they
           knew
           GOD

           wee
           must
           know

           as
           
           Saint
           Augustine
           hath
           observed
           ,
           that
           these
           imprecations

           prophecies

           those
           fearefull
           judgements
           which
           should
           certainly
           overtake
           and
           overthrow
           all
           the
           enemies
           of
           God

           his
           Church
           without
           repentance

           in
           all
           these
           imprecations
           ,
           as
           the
           affection
           is
           not
           at
           all
           distempered
           ,
           so
           neither
           is
           there
           any
           violation
           of
           patience
           ,
           any
           branch
           of
           charity
           ,
           any
           neglect
           of
           the
           precept
           of
           Christ.
           
        
         
           Now
           for
           the
           second
           branch
           of
           the
           question
           ,
           
           what
           is
           lawfull
           for
           us
           to
           doe
           in
           this
           case
           ,
           
           whether
           wee
           may
           imitate
           the
           Saints
           in
           this
           ,
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           that
           we
           may
           ,
           if
           we
           admit
           these
           limitations
           ,
           and
           take
           a
           few
           distinctions
           along

           1.
           
           Wee

           diligently
           distinguish
           betwixt
           the
           cause
           and
           the
           person
           that
           maintains
           
           the

           .
           It
           is
           cleere
           by
           the
           example
           of
           David
           ,
           who
           prayed
           against
           the
           wicked
           counsell

             Popish

           God

           reformers
           of

           That

           but
           their

           not
           answerable
           to
           their
           malice
           ,
           and
           therefore
           being
           not
           strong
           enough

           to
           effect
           wicked

           subjects

           quiet
           of
           our
           Church

           and
           to

           ruinated
           our
           Common-wealth
           .
           The
           matter
           is
           plaine
           ,
           all
           these
           were
           ready

           If
           you

           any
           reasons
           of
           this
           conclusion

           together
           so
           unanimously
           in
           mischievous
           practices
           ,
           
           you
           may
           take
           notice
           briefly
           ,
           if
           you
           will
           ,
           of
           these
           three
           :
           1.
           
           Is
           because
           they
           are
           swayed
           with
           one
           head
           ,
           that
           is
           ,
           the
           divell
           ;
           and
           that
           makes
           them
           so
           joyntly
           conspire
           in
           evill
           .
           For
           as
           Gods
           spirit
           worketh
           unity
           and
           unanimity
           in
           good
           things
           in
           the
           children
           of
           the
           church
           ,
           so
           there
           is
           the
           like
           contrary
           working
           by
           the
           divell
           in
           the
           children
           of
           disobedience
           .
           Their
           nature
           
           is
           the
           same
           all
           dre●cht
           in
           iniqu●ty
           ;
           and
           similitude
           of
           nature
           breeds
           similitude
           of
           affection
           .
           3.
           
           They
           know
           well
           enough
           that
           if
           they
           should
           be
           divided
           they
           were
           not
           able
           to
           stand
           ,
           
           and
           therefore
           in
           meere
           policie
           they
           cling
           like
           burres
           and
           sticke
           together
           .
        
         
           The
           use
           of
           this
           point
           is
           ,
           
           first
           for
           confutation
           
           of
           our
           adversaries
           the
           Papists
           in
           a
           matter
           of
           doctrine
           about
           the
           Church
           ;
           
           for
           they
           make
           
           consent
           and
           unity
           forsooth
           a
           note
           of
           the
           true
           Church
           of
           CHRIST
           .
           To
           which
           I
           could
           say
           much
           ,
           but
           for
           this
           time
           I
           will
           say
           but
           one
           thing
           with
           Saint
           
             Augustine
             ,
             Vt
             est
             ecclesia
             Dei
             una
             ,
             si●
             est
             Diaboli
             una
             Babylon
             ,
          
           as
           there
           is
           unity
           in
           the
           Church
           of
           Christ
           ,
           so
           there
           is
           unity
           in
           the
           church
           of
           Antichrist
           ;
           and
           therefore
           I
           say
           that
           unity
           barely
           and
           absolutely
           considered
           without
           the
           truth
           of
           doctrine
           cannot
           be
           a
           right
           distinctive
           note
           and
           infallible
           mark
           of
           the
           Church
           .
           For
           what
           greater
           agreement
           and
           consent
           is
           there
           than
           among
           theeves
           and
           robbers
           ?
           Come
           ,
           say
           they

             thy
             lot
             among
             us

             wee
             will
             all

             purse
             ,
             Pro.
          
           1.
           14.
           
           So
           likewise
           among
           the
           Turks
           &
           Mahometans
           there
           is

           I
           have
           read
           of
           Nero
           ,
           that
           bloody
           and
           barbarous
           tyrant
           that
           hee
           commanded
           Rome
           to
           be
           set
           on
           fire

           and
           while
           the
           smoke
           ascended
           ,
           and
           the
           houses
           burned
           ,
           hee
           gate
           him
           up
           to
           the
           top
           of
           his
           palace
           ,
           to
           looke
           upon
           it
           and
           laugh
           at
           it
           ,
           and
           taking
           a
           fiddle
           ,
           minstrell

           sung
           all
           the
           while
           Rome
           was
           a
           burning
           the

           Here
           was

           And
           because
           I
           have
           mentioned
           that

           a
           little
           further
           in
           it
           ,
           because
           it
           makes
           for
           our
           purpose

           Assoone
           as
           Nero
           had
           made
           Rome
           thus
           to
           be
           burnt
           ,
           the
           blame
           was
           presently
           laid
           upon
           the
           Christians

           that
           they
           by

           had
           fired
           the
           City
           ;
           even
           as
           the
           Powder-traytors
           had
           resolved
           ,
           if
           the
           treason
           had
           taken
           effect
           ,
           to
           lay
           all
           the
           blame
           on
           the
           Puritans
           ,
           that
           they
           had
           by
           treachery
           blowne
           up
           the
           Parliament
           house
           ;
           but
           that
           by
           the
           way

           when
           
           Nero

           and
           this
           rumour
           was
           growne
           into
           a
           common
           opinion

           and
           this
           opinion
           became
           an
           undoubted
           perswasion
           that
           it
           was
           just
           so
           as
           Nero
           had

           it
           abroad
